Someone speculated before that maybe the defense(read Pease) was holding back something on defense by playing vanilla for when we start play in conference.
I usually don’t listen to that type of talk since that is usually what people say about our offense and then nothing every changes. However, it does seem odd that a team that registered so many sacks last year has had difficulty getting sacks.
Here’s to hoping that Pease has something up his sleeve to dial up some pressure on Adams. Not exactly the best time to put more blitzes into the scheme though, as Adams will make the defense pay with his legs if their over pursue.
The two things I would like to see:
1) More sacks from the defense
2) More consistency from the passing game & more explosive down field plays.
